Standing In The Doorway Lyrics - Hang Time - Soul Asylum

Standing in the doorway 

Wondering if it's safe to go outside 

Wondering if I'll come back 

Wondering if I might just drift out with the rising tide 

Sitting and waiting and hoping to find 

Something you're good at to use up your time 

To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore 

A moonbeam that rests on the dust on your floor 

I'm not going out there 

Don't try to tell me I'm paranoid 

Wouldn't say, I'm not scared 

Though it may be safe to say that I am annoyed 

In the intersection, traffic lights are red in all directions 

Everyone breaks the law sometimes 

We all break down, have foolish pride 

And beg for some affection 

I can't say, I know how you feel 

Everyone seems to know 

Are you sure I would if I could help you remember 

What it's like to feel good 

Chitter and chatter and everything matters 

I ask how you're feeling 

And you just act shattered 

Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide 

Standing in the doorway 

Waiting as you come and as you leave 

You say, get out of my way 

Won't you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead 

They're all going somewhere 

They all have some place they have to be 

Maybe I should join them 

I wish, I could, I think, I have to stay here with me 

It brings a tear to your eye 

To get out into the open 

I can't believe, I see myself 

Coming into focus
